My name is Mina, and I'm a competitive target archer. I have at the professional
level for many years now, and I've even won a few tournaments su
Target archery is a very popular sport, and it is particularly popular in my country. You could
almost call it a national pastime for Koreans. There are even archery cafés in Korea! This
might be why South Korea is known for producing some of the most talented archers in
recent years. In fact, South Korean archers grabbed gold medals in all four categories of
archery at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.
The rules of target archery are simple. Archers shoot at a stationary target. Indoor
competitions take place at 18m. Outdoor ranges can be from 25m to 90m. Each match is
divided by ends which are counted as either three or six arrows. Archers shoot their arrows
at a target with ten rings drawn on it. Each ring's value gets higher as it nears the center. After firing all shots, archers
add up their scores and the archer with the most points at the end of the competition wins.
GEOCACHING
Hello, I'm Andrew and I have been an active geocacher for more than ten years. Geocaching is an activity for people who
love exploration and adventure. It's essentially a giant game that involves using Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers
to search for hidden treasures called geocaches. There are all kinds of geocaches. Some are very simple to find and others
require the participant to solve puzzles to learn the cache's location. What waits inside each cache is a mystery. Geocaches
can contain all sorts of different treasures, such as CDs, books, USBS, and even money. One common item in almost every
geocache is a logbook. The logbook is a record of all the participants who have found the
cache and contributed to it.

If you're interested in seeing what treasures lie out there, you can try this activity out
yourself. Look online for nearby geocaches. There may be some nearby. Find one and then
set off on your first geocaching adventure. All you need is a smartphone and a little bit of
time to join in the fun.

Go online and try to locate a geocache near you.
